Hi there,

Win10 is soon not supported. Tbh Linux have been on my radar since I started to break from the US big tech.

But how is security handled in Linux? Linux is pretty open-source, or am I not understanding it correctly. So how can I as a new user make sure to have the most secure machine as possible?

You're going to need to be more specific. There are dozens of aspects of security.

But if you want to have the most secure machine, then never turn it on, encase it in lead, and drop it at the bottom of the ocean.

    Since I was referring to win10 losing support I thought it was understood that I asked about security updates like windows does. But to specify, how is the ongoing security updates working on Linux? Who does it? Is it even being done? It is an assumption on my side that the security is done in the same manner like win and mac, with continuous updates but that might as well be a wrong assumption.
